Term 4 Uniform

This week is the last week that Winter Uniform is allowed to be worn at school. Just a reminder of the PPN Uniform Policy that is located on the PPN Website (https://www.prescottnorthern.com.au/policies).

Full Summer uniform is to be worn from Week 3 of Term 4.

Prescott Blazers

The wearing of the PPN Blazer for Years 6 and 7 is mandatory with their Formal Uniform. In 2018, Blazers are optional for Year 5. Students have a few options when wearing their blazers.

• Students can wear just the blazer over their long sleeve, white shirt or blue summer shirt or dress.
• In colder months, students may wear the blazer over the PPN school jumper.

Some other important items to note this term are-

General

• Any garments worn under the uniform should not be visible.
• Parents are requested to see that their children are correctly dressed at all times. If for any reason it is impossible for a student to be in full school uniform, a written note or SMS from their parents or guardians should be addressed to the Deputy Principal. Students wearing incorrect uniform must bring a note from home and will be issued with a uniform pass. If, for any reason a student needs permission for non-uniform items for an extended period of time, special consideration must be applied for in writing from the Deputy.

Before and After School Procedures

Before school: Students arrive on campus after 8:30am and are directed to the back cover area to be seated, waiting for the 8:40 bell. After this bell, students are permitted to go to their classrooms and/or go and play on the back oval/playground with the duty teacher present. The class bell goes at 8:55am, where the students return to their classrooms for the mornings activities. These are the only places students should be in the morning.

After school: The students are all packed up and out by 3:20pm and directed to the following two areas for collection.

1. The back cover area is where the majority of students will be seated, waiting for parents/guardians to come and collect them. Students are expected to sit and wait quietly for their parents to come and collect them.
2. The bus line is near the library and students must be seated in their bus groups, waiting with their bus driver to complete the roll and be on their way.

In all instances, students are to remain seated, waiting for parents/guardians and drivers to take them home.

It has been noticed that some students (and parents) have been playing on the front and back playgrounds before and after school. We ask that this does not happen from a risk point of view. We have been instructed that without teacher supervision, the playgrounds shouldn't be used. I realise that sometimes it's hard to entertain young children, however, we do have signs up asking parents to refrain from allowing children to play on the equipment without a teacher present. Thank you in advance for helping us out with this.

We want our kids to be safe and hope you can help us achieve this!
